The Fire Protector seemed to see through the doubts in my mind and said slowly: "This stone tablet contains the secret path to the Holy Realm. Only by wearing the stone tablet on my body can my soul enter the Holy Realm after my death."
"Sacred Realm!?" I was slightly startled and quickly asked: "What is the Sanctuary Realm?"
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Fire Protector: "The Holy Land is the place where the gods live, and it is also the most fascinating place for us!"
"Isn't that heaven?"
"Haha, actually I don't know where the sanctuary is." When the Fire Protector said this, he suddenly noticed the dragon tooth in my hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Why is this dragon tooth in your hand?"
I quickly said: "This dragon's tooth was given to me by a senior, but it was taken away by this guy. Fortunately, it was not lost! By the way, I heard that this dragon's tooth was actually discovered by you, senior?"
The Fire Protector nodded and said: "This dragon tooth comes from a thousand-year-old fire rock, and the dragon energy of fire is also obtained from that fire rock. I didn't expect that this dragon tooth went around and ended up in your hand.
It's really God's will. This thing is a treasure, you must keep it!"
"I know, this thing is extremely hard and can be regarded as a first-class weapon. It is perfect for subduing demons and slaying demons."
As soon as I finished speaking, the Fire Protector waved his hand and said, "This object is not just a weapon. It seems to contain an extremely powerful aura. I think it is very likely to have other uses."
"What other uses? What do you mean?" I asked hurriedly.
"I don't know this, I can only rely on you..." As he said this, his breathing suddenly became rapid.
I couldn't help being shocked, and quickly asked: "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
The Fire Protector frowned and said with great difficulty: "I... It seems that I can't survive. After I die, you take my body out of this dark place and place it seven feet away from the cave.
, there is a thousand-year-old fir tree, you bury me under that ancient fir tree, facing the east, four feet seven inches away from the tree, digging five feet three inches below, no... no need for a coffin, no need to build a tomb,
There is no need to erect... a monument..."
His voice became weaker and weaker. When he said this, his head suddenly tilted slightly to the side and his voice disappeared.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but feel a little thump in my heart, and shouted loudly: "Senior! Senior!..."
However, I called him several times, but he didn't respond. I put my hand into the iron cage, put it in front of his nose and touched it, only to find that he was no longer breathing. The Fire Protector was dead, even though he died like this
He died peacefully in a harsh environment. For him, this may be considered a kind of relief.
I couldn't help but sigh.
The last words of the Fire Protector were to ask me to take his body out and bury it under an ancient cedar tree outside the cave. Although I had no idea that there was an ancient cedar tree there, and I didn’t understand why he wanted me to do this.
, but since these are his last words, I have to obey them no matter what.
I searched around on the iron cage and soon found a rusty copper lock. I clenched the dragon's tooth in my hand and plunged into the copper lock. Just one click, and then
The copper locks were broken.
I opened the iron cage, used dragon teeth to pierce the shackles around Fire Protector's neck and hands, and took his body out.
Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, Protector Huo's body seemed to be only skin and bones, and his weight was very light. It felt like he only weighed seventy or eighty pounds at most. I carried his body on my back and walked out of the cave hall.
Go.
However, the outside of the cave hall is complicated, with big holes inside small holes. I wandered around the cave for a long time, but could not find a way out. When I came in, I originally carried a cross-body bag with a walkie-talkie and a GPS locator, but after I was
After the owl monster caught it, I don't know where the crossbody bag went. Now I can't contact other people, and I can't figure out the direction at all. It's really not easy to get out of this place.
thing.
I thought for a while and suddenly thought of Wuchenzi. After all, he is a ghost with deep magic power. Maybe I can ask him to help find a way out. So I immediately summoned Wuchenzi from the stone tablet.
Seeing that I was carrying a ragged corpse on my back, Wuchenzi was a little surprised. I quickly told him the situation briefly. After he listened, he asked me to stay where I was and waited, and then it turned into a black mist.
It quickly spread to all directions.
After waiting for almost an hour, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps and vaguely heard Wen Qingshan’s shout: “Shi Yu!”
I hurriedly agreed: "I'm here!"
After a while, a ray of light shone towards me, it was Wen Qingshan and Huang Yixian! It turned out that Wuchenzi found them and brought them over.
They were both surprised to see that I was fine. Regardless of seeing me carrying the Fire Protector on my back, they were both surprised. Huang Yixian stared at the Fire Protector carefully for a while and said, "This is not that guy, who is this?"
Woolen cloth?"
"He is Second Master Rui's master! The reason why Second Master Rui is proficient in the secret arts of the Fire Tribe is because he taught him all!"
When Huang Yixian heard this, he immediately shouted: "It turns out that he is the culprit!"
I hurriedly explained: "Uncle, please listen to what I have to say first. In fact, this senior was deceived by Mr. Rui, so he taught him the secret techniques of the Fire Tribe. And after that beast learned the secret techniques of the Fire Tribe,
So he was imprisoned, and for more than ten years, the senior has been locked in an iron cage in the cave."
"Is there such a thing?"
I nodded and continued: "Moreover, Senior is not only Mr. Rui's master, but also a demon hunter. As for Mr. Rui, he is actually a cultist. Mr. Rui hid his true identity in front of Senior
, after gaining the full trust of the senior, the senior would look away and accept him as his apprentice."
"It turns out that guy is a member of a cult, no wonder he is so sinister and vicious!" Wen Qingshan suddenly realized.
Huang Yixian hurriedly asked: "By the way, where did that guy go? Could it be possible that he escaped again?"
"No! He's dead?"
"What, you killed him?"
I quickly said: "He was not killed by me, but burned to death by his own internal fire."
Huang Yixian hummed softly: "Humph! This kind of bastard who can harm his master to such an extent is simply worthy of death!" After saying this, he turned his attention to the Fire Protector again, and he stared at the Fire Protector for a while.
Fan, asked me: "Shi Yu, I think something is wrong with him?"
I sighed and said, "Because he is already dead."
"What! Dead?" Wen Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, then nodded and said: "He is indeed dead."
"Since he is already dead, why are you still carrying him? You and he are not relatives!" Huang Yixian asked in confusion.
I said: "Because the senior left a last word before he died, asking me to take him away from this dark place and bury him under an ancient cedar tree outside the cave."
Wen Qingshan nodded and said: "There is indeed an ancient cedar tree outside the cave. I think the tree is at least five hundred years old."
Huang Yixian rushed to me and asked: "Is it possible for you to agree to him like this?"
I replied: "No matter what, he is the senior witcher after all. His only request before his death, can I not agree to it?"
"Hey! You are so heartless, and you haven't gained anything from this. Why did you agree to carry his body out!"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Master Huang, since these are the last words of this senior, let's just follow them."
"This kid has already promised me, what else can I do?"
Although Huang Yixian seems to be very reluctant, I know that he is just trying to be cool. In fact, he has always had a great respect for the dead, and he always said that after death, people should be buried in peace, so even if
The Fire Protector didn't leave any last words, so he probably would have asked me to carry his body out, and then find a piece of land to bury it in.
The three of us took the body of the Fire Protector out of Guanyin Rock together. Jianjian, Fatty Niu, Xu Maorong, and Xu Jiacheng were all still waiting outside. They waited at the entrance of the cave for four or five hours, thinking that we were...
It wasn't like something was wrong. They were all very anxious and were planning to go into the cave to find us. Now that they saw us coming out safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When they saw the body of Protector Huo, they were all surprised. Xu Maorong hurriedly asked: "Who is this person?"
I had to narrate the situation again, but in front of Xu Maorong and Xu Jiacheng, I only said that Protector Huo was Master Rui's master, but did not tell his true identity, nor did I mention that Master Rui was a shadow cultist.
thing.
And when he learned that Mr. Rui had been burned to cokes, Xu Maorong couldn't help but sigh. Although Mr. Rui had done many evil things and deserved his death, he was still from Yunjian Village after all. Xu Maorong still felt a little regretful.
Because the Fire Protector said that his body would be buried under an ancient cedar tree, I looked around, and sure enough, I found that there was actually a cedar tree about 20 meters away from the entrance of Guanyin Rock.
The cedar tree is really not that big. The tree is probably thirty or forty meters high. It has lush branches and leaves. At its thickest diameter, it would take several adults to hug it.
Huang Yixian was a little surprised to see such a big cedar tree. He was surprised and said: "How can this cedar tree be so big?"
Wen Qingshan said: "The cedar tree is a long-lived tree that can grow for thousands of years and can grow to a very huge size. The giant sequoia tree native to North America is commonly known as the 'Lord of the World' and is the largest living creature in the world. In the Redwood Country of California, USA
There is a giant sequoia in the park. This giant sequoia is more than 80 meters tall, with a trunk diameter of nearly ten meters. It weighs more than 2,800 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 500 African elephants. According to calculations, its age
About three thousand five hundred years."
